Resumen del Editor

A humorous adventure book set in Cape Cod and Cashmere-on-the-Hudson during the early 1900s.

The serene, coastal town of Orham, Massachusetts, is about to be turned upside down by a series of mysterious letters, unexpected adventures, and comical misadventures. Captain Jonadab Wixon and Barzilla Wingate are two unassuming residents who find themselves invited to a wedding at Dillamead House, Cashmere-on-the-Hudson. This seemingly ordinary event quickly spirals into a whirlwind of humorous incidents and unexpected encounters.

Enter Peter T. Brown, a charismatic and persuasive character who convinces Jonadab and Barzilla to transform Jonadab's inherited, desolate farmhouse into the "Old Home House," a summer hotel aimed at wealthy self-made men yearning for the simplicity of their youth. As the hotel opens its doors, a parade of eccentric characters, including the wealthy Mr. Ebenezer Dillaway and a dubious Count, brings a mix of hilarity and satire to this Cape Cod paradise.

Brown’s unorthodox methods, the quirky guests, and the series of schemes and mishaps will keep you turning pages. From humorous run-ins at social gatherings to scenes reminiscent of seafaring adventures, this book captures the essence of early 20th-century humor and rural charm.

Cape Cod Enigma is perfect for fans of satirical comedy, nautical tales, and eccentric character studies. It's a nostalgic, uproarious dive into a bygone era where the clash of cultures and the simplicity of small-town life meet in a delightful blend of wit and charm.

For readers searching for a light-hearted romp through history with a cast of unforgettable characters, Cape Cod Enigma delivers a timeless narrative filled with humor, heart, and an unwavering sense of place.
